- Each MIDI note has its own property, such as output channel, choke group, volume, pitch, filter frequency and envelope speed.

- Each oscillator has its own 12/24 db low/high/band pass/band reject/ring mod/ comb filter, and has frequency & ring modulation.
- Each drum preset has its own decimator effect to further alter the sound.
- The drum preset's parameters can be controlled using vari-slope envelope and variable number of repeats.
